Air support is 30 seconds late. The pair of Russian Hind-D took out the power supply at the top of the southern knoll. Pillbox down. All of a sudden, the crew felt all alone in their M1A1 Abram.Intel indicates massive enemy armour movement towards the knoll. The lone tank retreats to the western side. The first line of defense is down. All there is left is a few AT mines at the turning on top. The crew knew it won't last. To the Northwest, 2 friendly AH64s took out the Hind-Ds in no time with their hellfire missles. But its all too late. The hills been captured.

"Mayday! Mayday!"

The pilots scream. Their desperate cries echoed through the radio, reminding the crew of their own fate. "Taking fire!39 this 34, Request for backup now!"

"39 this 32, permission to engage."

"39, positive"

"32, wilco wilco"

The 3 bradleys, 2nd platoon, gets into combat mode as they rush eastwards. Half a mile ahead, they witness their battle buddy blow up in flames. The sharpnels flying in all directions like desperate souls.

"32 this 39 have you got visual on 34"
"Say again 32 this 39 have you got visual on 34"

All is silent. A tactical mistake? Or could it have been all different if the Apaches were there. Wrong deployment? There was defense in depth, the forces were flexible. Bradleys responded on time. What went wrong?

That sums up the best part of my day. Spent an hour or so play WW3:Black Gold. One of the most realistic modern world strategy game I ever played. Was trying to practice some armour tactics. But then, heh...i guess i need some fine tuning. Nevermind, anyway i got my fun out of learning? Gosh...does that make sense. Whatever.

Halfway through the game and I was made to go to Chun Dao He Pan. For the uninformed, its this yearly bazaar-like event held near esplanade. Trust me, its not worth going. Traffic is already a killer so if ever you decide to go against my advice, at least take public transport. How did I end up there? We were forced to. Because mom says "Sister wants to go". Come on. She didn't.

My mom almost drove me crazy. Doing things I cannot explain with a logical mind. Its a mixture of anger, laughter and desperate cries. Ok my english ain't good. Simply speaking. Pek Chek. Wah now i think about it want to peng already. Sometimes I wonder why she always use my youngest sister as a subject to voice out what she wants. Or does she truly mean well for my sis. Fulfilling my sister's childhood; or fulfilling her wish to see my sister enjoy what she Ought to. Come on, this isn't real at all.

Next half of my day involves something I do not wish to talk about here so I should just skip this. Bleah.........I wish I could eat darkchocolate and strawberry ice cream now. Anyone knows what they taste like together? Hmm. I can taste it without eating it at all. Tat!

Anyway, my weekend should be kicking off tomorrow morning. Gonna eat breakfast with my good brother then watch movie. Got some friends coming over tomorrow night. SHould add up to a happening day if all goes well. Wonder how long this kind of days will last, when even ah wong goes overseas to study. Damn, why is it like a standard kind of thing for some people to study abroad and yet it feels like a challenge for me to get a scholarshup. Haiz sucks.

Arrgg. I am feeling tired already. Before I sleep I must conquere the North-West enemy base. SO alios.
